    Nine times ten to the eighth power US dollars.... seventy-six thousand tonnes displacement.... a hundred and fifty seven horsepower.... a crew of twelve hundred fifty....

    Yep, a great weekend cruiser :D Not sure if the ol' plastic-over-scrap-2x4s build shed will suffice, though. Might have to upgrade to the corrugated steel roof.... you'd hate to have that much plywood damaged by snow!

    thanks matt, that may have saved me a lot of aggravation not to mention expense

    dont you think 157 hp may be too much

    We'll get Mas to build it once he's finished with his catamaran thingy without a mast. Not in our lifetime.......
